Stagecoach driver (Slatyford). Given the driver shortages being seen across the industry, Stagecoach is probably the best option. Personally I'd like to see Phoenix or Stanley Travel get it but for ticket options Stagecoach is the best fit. Likewise the 317. 

Just a gut feeling, I don't think we'll see anything change other than GCT concentrating on Durham and the consultation services being cancelled, perhaps freeing up Phoenix to potentially bid for a service or two.
